Who this category suits
Riders aged 16 or over who do not hold a motorcycle licence.
Licence-Free is the smallest category in the catalogue: a compact automatic moped for short, low-speed trips in Ho Chi Minh City when the rider does not hold a motorcycle driving licence.
The exception is tied to the vehicle, not its marketing name. The confirmed scooter must have no more than 50 cc and a design speed no higher than 50 km/h to remain in Vietnam's moped class.
- No motorcycle driving licence required
- Compact automatic format
- For riders aged 16+
- One helmet included
Equivalent-model policy
A documented 50cc moped, not a de-restricted small motorcycle.
The accepting partner confirms a Giorno 50, Dunk 50, Today 50, Vino 50 or comparable automatic whose registration and manufacturer specification keep it inside the legal moped definition.
Do not accept a modified or de-restricted vehicle. A 50 cc engine alone is not enough if its design speed exceeds 50 km/h; ask support before handover if the paperwork or specification is unclear.

A practical trade-off
The licence exception comes with a real performance limit.
Vietnam caps mopeds at 40 km/h on the road. This category is intended for short urban journeys, not fast connectors, long two-up rides or routes where keeping pace would require more performance.
- Check the registration, compulsory owner-liability insurance and confirmed engine capacity.
- Wear the supplied helmet and fasten the chin strap before moving.
- Keep to the 40 km/h moped road limit and avoid de-restricted vehicles.
Useful questions
Answers before the request.
Do I need a driving licence for this 50cc scooter in Vietnam?+
No motorcycle driving licence is required for a compliant moped under Law No. 36/2024/QH15. The vehicle must be no more than 50 cc and have a design speed no higher than 50 km/h, and the rider must be at least 16.
Does every scooter advertised as 50cc qualify?+
No. Engine capacity is only one part of the definition. A modified or de-restricted scooter whose design speed exceeds 50 km/h falls outside the moped condition relied on by this category.
How fast may I ride a moped in Vietnam?+
Circular No. 38/2024/TT-BGTVT sets a 40 km/h maximum road speed for mopeds, unless a lower posted limit applies.
Does licence-free mean insurance-free?+
No. The licence exception does not guarantee personal travel or medical coverage. Confirm in writing that your insurer covers riding a rented 50cc moped in Vietnam.
